The South and the Tariff.

There is no doubt that the principle of
protection is gaining ground in the South.
ern States. With the growth of manufac-
lures grows apace the opinion that a
tariff for protection is necessity for this
country. In several States the advocates
of this doctrine are quite numerous and
influential. In Virginia, North Carolina.
Georgia, and Alabama the supporters of
protection are strong enough to make
themselves felt in politics.
A recent editorial in the Atlanta Con-
sttution in regard to the position of the
two great parties on the tariff question IN
dcates dissatisfaction with the democratic
stand upon this subject. and voices, no
doubt, the opinion OF many who have
hitherto acted with the democracy. 1t APP.
proves the course of Mr.. Randall in the
last Congress in favor of reducing the
interval revenue, aud opposes the bill in.
troduced by Mr.. Morrison to reduce the
duties on imports. In closing the Con-
stituton says: THE States of Virginia
and North Carolina we're carried in the
last national campaign on pledge of the
would reduce the internal revenue. The
effect of the failure to do so, which was
brought about by democratic leaders in
the House, will, it is feared, have very
damaging effect in those close states in
the next campaign. The loss of those
States would insure the defeat of the
democratic ticket. Unless some clear
and unmistakable declaration shall be
made in the next democratic platform in
favor of internal revenue reduction, it will
be charged that the democrats have COM
mitted themselves to the perplexitv of
the system. In the light of what trans
pired in the fiftieth Congress that charge
will be hard to meet"
The appearance is that the democratic
leaders will have a knotty question in the
